Setting the burr
- generally I find that after sharpening that I still have to set the burr after sharpening
- I use one of three devices to accomplish this:
- the Jende tool
- the sharpening rod sold by Roger Miller
- a kitchen sharpening rod
- CAUTION: do not use a sharpening rod with grooves, these are very coarse and will ruin your edge!
- once you start scraping you will need to reset the burr frequently
- I find that once the knife is sharpened it will last for the day
- check out the video below to see how you set the burr
